HIS DECISION ANNOUNCED AT THE CABINET MEETING TO-DAY. The President called an extra session of the Cabinet this morning at half-past ten o'clock. All the members responded except Secretary Robeson, who is absent in New York. Post- master General Creswell was accompanied by Hon. Eugene Hale, of Maine, recently appointed Postmaster General, and he was officially pre- sented to the members of the Cabinet. Daring the session Mr. Hale formally declined the ofice of Postmaster General, stating that he was con- strained to reconsider his previous deter- THE PASSION OF THE HOT Dress may now be considered to be divided in sn arbitrary manner Into drese castames for the street, tuil dress toilettes for the drawing room, and nrglig: for the house.

Those who are obliged to studs econoiny think that that is the trouble, and tha’ if they could only epend money enough there would be no difficulty in making « choice. Bat people who have pienty of money find it just a: hard to make up their minds what it is thes want todo; they are as tired of the monotony and sameness of fashion and luxury as many others of their struggles to preserve the average thow of respectability. Probably the real reason of this universal fee! ing of indecision and discontent is in our habit ot looking for changes, in novelty and excite met, conditions which cannot in their vers nature, be permanent or satisfying. A health- tul life is a regular life, and necessarily some. what “slow,” and @ healthful change Is th: which supplies something of which we do not get enough, and thus assists in restoring an equilibrium of forces. the trimming of the trimmings, the lining of the heading of the founces, basques, 2.

Your over skirt must be of the striped foulard. Your fronts are separate from the back breadths, which are nd ¢ in a double pouff. The ber of the Prick pd prmagred Committee, had been an extended and to him a specially severe one, and he did not think it consistent with bis best interests to accept the arduous duties of the office in view of his impaired health. President expressed his regret at the declination, and assured Mr. Hale that he was confident the relations between them would bave been most pleasant. At this sesson Mr Sresswell participated as Postmaster General, and still continues to act in that capacity. It is hs —— at this writing who will be ap- ointed. ? The Cabinet remained in session until twenty minntespastoneo’clock. Postmaster General Cresswell stated upon leaving that he would act until his successor was appointed, but that he intended to insist upon leaving the department as soonas possible. On returning to the Post Office department, in iy od to a question whet er he would reconsider his resignation, he said Dictator, left that port yesterday for Pensacola, convoyed by the Brooklyn, Ossipee, Shawmut, Kansas and Pinta.

Nearly all the fine country residences of » quarter of acentury agoor more, have fallen into decay or have been divided up into lots to suit purchasers, so that country visiting life apon & grand and hospitable scale is almost unknown.

There at least one knows nothing of the exactions of ,Biddy, the cook, or Katie, the chambermaid; the army of white-capped officials in the back offices are under military law, and confidence in the fact that hot rolls, broiled steak, omelette, corn bread and good coftee will always be forthcoming is therefore complete and profound. Covoperative life of this description is already an enormous fact in this country, and promises to increase until it absorbs @ much larger part of the population than it does at present. Old- fashioned idebs about children have interfered to some extent with a realization to many of this earthly paradise, but when they have learned to manage the matter of tacreasing pop- ulation ax well as they do in France, children will be no longer an obstacle to life ina tirst- class hotel. CITY ATTRACTIONS IX JUNE. It is only now, and barely in time, to escape the noise and covfusion of the Fourth of Jul: that some of the best known families, leaders in the world of fashion, have left the city and betaken themselves to the quiet of raral homes or the gayeties of the sea-side or inland sammer resorts. New York is not without attractions of its own in June, and this year the brief reap- pearance of Salyini has been added to the in- creasing eclat of the Jerome Park races, to the greenness aud freshness of the Central Park, and tothe profusion of delicious Jersey straw- berries. After June everything in the Empire City has alimp and dirty look. People who are obiiged to remain saunter aloug the shady side of the street with an aimless look, as if they had been lost, and no one had found them. But turough June the nights are cool, starch retains its nat- nd respectable fathers of fam‘ staid and dignified aspect as if life had not lost all its yalue vo them. goods, eminently suited for beading and em- broidering, and, in point of fact, fabricated with that aim, will reign predominant. Faille “nd foulard of neutral shades, notably ash aray, pinkish gray, greenish, yeilo and oluish gray, with ‘ashes of roses” and smoked pearl tints, are also in high favor, as well as a uew color which resembles the ebade of raxp- gerry juice that bas mingled with cream in a sancer, and which is catled fruit fan. A great many new fabrics have been issued, he distinguishing feature of which is that they sre composed of two sections, plain material heing intended for the skirt,’and striped, of dentical color, for the overskirt and sleeveless basque waist, or for a or if preferred, «he coat sleeves being of the plain fabric. Ali a are decidedly new for street costume, alpaca to the richest silk—except of couras black silk—offer this new feature, and cven in black combined with white, this novel effect is to be tound. TRAVELING weling costumes are made without any overskirts, both because of their being cooler and less cumbersome when so made, and be- cause it is just as well for a costume of that sort to simulate the overskirt im the trimming, as it is less expensive to get up, or as the phrase now ‘s, to build such @ Cress without an overskirt than with one. Light batiste de laine of two shades of gray makes an exceedingly pretty traveliag suit when disposed as follows: Te skirt is round, and short enough to clear the ground without any possibility of an inconvenient sweep. The tablier is garnished by fist fold alternately light and dark. The end of each fold ts cat into a triangle, in which a long batton-hole is worked without being cut, with derk silk on the ligut and light silk on the dark material. On cach of these a large mother-of- pearl bution issewed. The other breadths are trimmed with flounces that are alternately light or dark. These flounces are intersected by a simulated overskirt formed by a light flounce that is head- ed bya dark bias fold. A light waist opens over @ dark vest. A small rounded shaw!, with very long ends, scailoped on the edge with dark gray wool, is thrown over the shoulders and tied once in front, the ends betng thrown backward over the back. Gray, of tww shades, is the only color, except beige, that is admissadie for trav- cling costumes. “In that pecaliar color they are to be seen already very stylishly “built.” Some, very elegant, are embroidered, but it is a ques- tion of taste whether it be euitabic to embruiter traveting costumes or whether it be not best to @ nse with embroidery on such dresses. ‘or traveling lingerie, gray, bluish gray, pale iilse stefped Oxtord tion.

But little work one yesterday. Noone knowing who wore selected for official decapitation, but few had the heart to work. At half-past two o'clock the dreaded missives were distributed, creating quite a c.nsternation among the unfortanat d their sympathizing friends, The heavic blow fell upon employes inthe bareau of en- graving and printing. In this division alone 3i3 persons, nearly ail females, received no- titications of thelr discharge.’ A shock of earthquake could hardly have produced more marked results. Fourteen ladies fainted. Four doctors were summoned, and for a time the rooms were permeated with odors of cataphor and other revivifying drags. At one time seven ladies were prostrated in one room, re- celving medical aid. Nearly ail were ering, thore fortunate enough to retain their places mingling their tears with their less fortunate sisters. Appeals were made to the chief of the burean to intervene with his influence to save those discharged, but while his sympathies were with the distressed ones, yet the law was in- flexible, and as an officer of the government he had only to carry ont its provisions, and was powerless to avert the bio In the Second Auditor's office forty clerks were discharged. TO-DAY’S DISCHARGES AT THE TREASURY. In vulgar vernacular they are just “knocking thinge” around the Treasury Department to- day. Since 11 o'clock fleet-footed messengers have been on the alert carrying around to the unfortunates their discharge papers. In the halls the female employees, as they were yestar- day, are discussing the dismissals with tearfal eyes. About 75 additional discharges were made to-cay, mostly males, in the otfiee of the Sec- retary, the commissioners of internal revenue and ‘custome,the Third Auditor's oftice, and ndependent treasury. It is said thet all the bureaus of the Secretary’s office, established by Secrets Bontwell, are to be abolished and the duties remanded to the burean officers in charge of principal clerks. Mr. Goddard, assistant chief of the customs division, was discharged to-day. It is said, however, he is to be ap- pointed a special agent. The nomination of Mr. Conant was received U. S.

A wrapping which sbould accompany all traveling costumes is the new gossamer water- proof. the attendance of several parties of traveling English gentlemen and ladies, whe mae frec comments and attracted attention by a not ex- actly eccentric, but still peculiar and insalar style of dress. ‘The skirts of the dresses were longer than are usually worn upon such occa- sions by American ladies; the outside garments were larger and looser, the colors had less rela- tion to each other, and the different parts of the costume had an appearance of having been purchased at different periods in the world’s history. ‘There were not miny noteworthy toilets that I observed, though there were some very hand- some ones. The newest were biack, with culrass boddices striped in velvet and beaded lace, or beaded lace and puffed grenadine, or beaied lace lined with silk and alternated with bands of Diack silk. A favorite costume, of which there were many representatives, more or less distingaished, con- sisted of polonaires of the new yellowish white summer camel’s hair cloth trimmed with superb lace inrertion and bordering to match, and mounted with broad velvet loops and bows. These elegant garments are worn over black silk skirts, more or less trimmed, or over violet or gray, but in that case the bonnet, gloves and parasol must harmonize with the unt. It should be understood, however, that when a color is used for the skirt, the gloves should be several shades paler, in order to preserve the appearance of delicacy and refinemsnt, and thata lighter tint for gloves should always be referred to adarkerone. This rule is not uni- formly observed ia the drabs and grays now #0 much used, and the neglect detracts from the ap) ance of an otherwise complete ensemble. morrow for the office of appointment clerk, that the post nos been offered to a gentl residing in New York city.
